I wish I had started differently. I wish I had known what I know now, which is that people really want to connect with a person. They really want to follow your life, to understand what you’re doing and listen to you – not the ‘we’, the ‘royal we’, the ‘company we’.” – Carley Knobloch

Today’s interview is the shortest interview that I’ve done so far, but it’s probably one of the most important interviews I’ll ever do.

Natalie Hampton is a 17 year-old high school student who’s got more moxie than almost anyone I know.

After suffering several years of death threats, being physically attacked, sitting alone and feeling isolated at lunch, Natalie Hampton got fed up. She created the app, Sit With Us, a digital platform that allows students to have a safe space to enjoy their lunch at school among peers who will be friendly and conversational.

Today, Sit With Us, has over 100,000 downloads in eight countries and has won numerous awards for its success.

On today’s show, Natalie shares how and why she launched her app, what it was like to create the app, and the success of Sit With Us. You’ll be amazed by this 17 year-old’s passion and heart she has put into using her app to create a safe space for kids.

It has shown me how many people are affected by bullying, because I’ve heard so many stories. But it has also shown me how many people are out there trying to solve the problem as well.” – Natalie Hampton
